This can't be the end! #2

Hi Lisa, Thanks for stopping by my thread.

I'm aware that the advice I'm getting I'd sound, and I'm appreciative of any feedback and time given by anyone. I'm not going to lie, Mozza's post above did aggravate me at the time, even though the message being conveyed was accurate. Mozza has it spot on that we don't know the future and I was being very negative in my post it related to. As I did also post later about my "venting my sadness" comment, it was more me trying to say "sorry if I'm depressing people". This has been said to me before.
I just found that the sarcasm in the above post almost nullified the sound advice given if I'm being honest. If I wanted to sift through sarcasm to get to the real message, I'd talk with my W!!

I may well be be chastised for this but it sometimes seems to be ok to vent on the forum so long as the sad or "pitiful" comments are kept to a minimum and anger or resentment are the underlying tones. I appreciate that anyone commenting on such posts are only trying to help give an emotional 2x4 to the poster, it's sometimes the way it's done that I feel is a little harsh. As I've said before, the INtent is great, the CONtent could be worded better though. The same can be said for my own communication though so I should practice what I preach!!

As for Mozza in particular, I bear no grudges or ill will to him and I really do hope he continues to follow my sitch and post his helpful feedback. I've actually read all of his threads in the last couple of days. I did note that in Mozza 4, he also had some feedback regarding one of his posts that got what I felt was an unnecessary amount of negative comments back. By the end of the string, Mozza too had said he didn't want to talk about it any more. It seemed that people had picked up on a negative part of his post and wanted to keep bashing him about it no matter what reasoning he then tried to give for it. I have read many other peoples threads here in an attempt to understand my own. Some of them help, some don't. I take the good stuff and leave the rest.

I know I have some great people following me and giving good advice (although there hasn't been much in the last few days, which is fine of course, it gives me time to read DB anyway!). I am finding some very relatable material in the book which is helping, and I am looking at my attitude and how I communicate my thoughts and feelings.

Again, thank you.

Barry
